Lord Forlong sits in the Merry Swan, drinking with his old friends Lord Hirluin and one Neldir of Minas Tirith. The conversation turns to stories of prior wars that Gondor has known, and the heroic roles they played in them.
'Tell me friends, were things so very grim back then, as they are now? For that is not how I recall it. Or perhaps, being less in stature and wisdom, we did not look beyond this city's walls. It is a happy thing, is it not, to see no farther than your own strong walls?
'Ah, but then wanderlust comes over you. Why, Authlin himself sang a sweet, sad song on the subject. I hardly think of a harp more fairly fingered, or words more surely put to melody. How did it go?
'When dawn over the - when over the mountain - no, no. Hirluin, help me here.'
